Or in the other hand, is this just a blunt and flagrant attempt from XJ/9L merger cmtes to try to obtain a 2 month seniority hit on every single 9E pilot regardless of integration method chosen by Mr. Bloch? That cant be right... Why now and not months ago when the adjustment took place?
If this is indeed the true intentions of XJ merger cmte, then so be it. Fine by me. Really. Lets wait for Bloch's decision and move on.
Now, after all this process is over, for the remaining days I may have left in the regional industry, I do not want to hear sh!t about UNITY on any, I repeat any of the union emails, letters or other correspondence. Personally, any speech raising anthems of working "together", or "we are all in this together lets work it out" BS or just any reference of all of us as "brothers and sisters" is plain and simply an insult to our intelligence, at least mine.
This thread is living proof that apparently we are all crawling with a knife in our teeth and are more than ready to stick it on anybody's back or chest.
If you really think about it, its pretty damn sad...
Option 2. They want to use their own class start date, while 9E would have to use DOH on the checkride date. Thus we at Pinnacle would all lose 2-ish months of seniority. Also, our seniority list would be completely reordered, since checkrides were assigned at random, not by seniority.
